Book Review - "Daughter of Hauk"

As a debut novel, Ms. Collins has definitely showcased her
talents as you try to guess ahead what will happen next in each epic
scene only to be surprised and then by the end, you just can’t
wait to find the next installment of this series! The characters were
very well defined, her use of flashbacks to develop the past while
moving through the present was exceptional and as I read I was able to
visualize everything as she did such an excellent job of weaving
intricate details into fanciful imagery.

Arwenna is the elven main character of this epic fantasy and she is
so well defined that she was easily endeared to my heart as I wanted to
pick her up and help her along the way in her war against the Corse.
Alas, just as I felt like reaching into the page, she would surprise me
with even more strength as she continued on her quest and I was
mesmerized again and again by the writer’s talent for portraying the
terror and the struggles all the characters faced or caused.

Filled with legends, secrets, epic battles, magic and the age old
battle of good versus evil, this author has done an exceptional job with
her magical writing talents. This is a must read for any lover of good
books, no matter your genre preference. If you are a Dungeon’s and
Dragons, World of Warcraft, Hobbit / Lord of the Rings fan as I am, you
won’t want to miss this great novel!
